The middle market landscape

The top challenges facing Middle Market companies are growing revenue, increasing profit, and managing and sustaining the “right growth” to optimize their business model.  In addition, middle market companies lack the resources of larger firms, while operating under greater competitive pressure. For these companies it is important to focus on achieving stability and increasing their customer base driving profits at a more steady pace. 

 

Many of these organizations are “sales-oriented,” where employees focus on advancement and are rewarded based on sales goals instead of focusing on profit goals. Accommodating both corporate profit goals and individual sales goals makes tailored marketing strategies that much more important. It is critical that Middle Market companies crystalize marketing strategies that get more bang for the buck. Their strategies need to work across audience segments, across the competitive landscape and evolve with ever-changing customer needs. 

 

Marketing success for Middle Market companies may be elusive due to: 

  • Dependence on non-marketing executives to lead the marketing charge
  • Dependence on one or two in-house tactical marketers with little ability to self-manage and make effective strategic decisions
  • Dependence on an advertising agency, public relations firm, traditional strategic marketing consultant, and/or freelance specialty subcontractors  ill-equipped to deliver a comprehensive and integrated modern marketing plan capable of driving business growth
